pass the torch
pass the word
pass the sound
these rhymes from tha underground
breaking through like tha morning sun
and yes, the movements just begun
the time has come to set tha stage
cant take no more build up tha barricade
takin a stand puttin up a fight
rockin this shit to take back tha night
and i rather die and know i really lived
than be just another blind ignorant kid
so come and resist the system
the one built on  genocide and oppression
that breeds greed and spreads the seed
of war and materialistic tendencies
which fill me and build me up
til i break (break) and force me to tha barricade
 
yo we going down to the barricade,
ready to face the hate and the pigs' brigade
time to end tha partys parade
look into my eyes, i'm no longer afraid
 
we going down to the barricade,
ready to face the hate and the pigs' brigade
time to end tha corporate parade
look into my eyes, i'm no longer afraid
we going down to the barricade
 

im goin down to the barricades made of hate
i pack a 12 gauge of rages thats been packed away since the 8th grade
so turn the page and read more about this war
fuck the corporate whores silencin the cries of the poor
i read the barricade and i see the GOP
GWB sparkin niggaz like a bag of weed
but sammy g got my back like louis had clarks
car parked got my mark feel my heart off the chart
he's dustin niggaz off with jonathan ashcroft
but i never staty soft eliminate like microsoft
so break it down turn around market economy's goin down
dont try to silence this militant sound
 
All:
yo we going down to the barricade,
ready to face the hate and the pigs' brigade
time to end tha partys parade
look into my eyes, i'm no longer afraid
 
we going down to the barricade,
ready to face the hate and the pigs' brigade
time to end tha corporate parade
look into my eyes, i'm no longer afraid
we going down to the barricade
 
this one goes out to all the niggaz in the struggle
i got a mixed conscience and im trying to juggle
between going down the long road of militance
or the road of non violent resistance
i was about to choose the latter but then the madhatter
reminded me of rich bitches pockets gettin fatter
im gettin images of little kids with disadvantages
gettin taken advantage of by their corporate factory managers
i got pictures of little richards workin 16 hour shifts
while their mom stays home sick and factory owners are gettin rich
im gettin straight up peeved at the (chant: G-O-V-T)
gop run shit nothing that be helpin me
so bring ya tables chairs guns or whatever
power trip niggaz about to feel the peoples terror
time to end the silence im going out with crude violence
slugs between ya eyelids strength stronger than some titans
 
yo we going down to the barricade,
ready to face the hate and the pigs' brigade
time to end tha partys parade
look into my eyes, i'm no longer afraid
 
we going down to the barricade,
ready to face the hate and the pigs' brigade
time to end tha corporate parade
look into my eyes, i'm no longer afraid
we going down to the barricade
look into my eyes i'm no no longer afraid.....
